After much thought and consideration the Final Event will be held on Dec. 21 2008 at Redan. It will be a MATCH PLAY event so figure out who you need to challenge to set yourself up for the brackets. As always it will be a seeded tournament with your tag number being where you end up in the bracket. There will probably be some prelim rounds for the Am's to get the bracket numbers to work out so be prepared to possibly wait a bit to start. If you have been to one of my events before you already know this.

Sign up 7:30 to 9:00 Players Meeting 9:15Start Match Play 9:30 or so

I think this is the shortest day of the year so we will be moving quick to play and I will not be stopping until the final match is done. Be ready!!! It's also the first official day of Winter so be prepared for that too!!!

I guess the cold and wind kept quite a few participants (wimps and whiners) away yesterday but those that did attend had a great time. We had 15 Ams and 6 Pro’s show up for the 2008 Bag Tag Challenge Finals at Redan. I'm not sure if it was the FREE gourmet lunch or the FREE Sweetwater that made it really special. Congrats to John Ritger who took first in the Pro’s and Couch for taking first place on the AM side. Here is a complete list of money winners and other participants:

There was an unofficial vote taken before the start of the action and there were 11 votes to retain the 2 tag system and 5 votes to change to a 1 tag system in 2009. I think the votes of the players who show up for the finals should be given considerable consideration.

I also think that the #1 AM tag holder should have his tag and #1 status revoked for failing to compete in year-end festivities.

Thanks to Wookie for running the 2008 Bag Tag Challenge. Wookie also donated proceeds of $85 from the sale of bag tags to the ADGO. Thanks again Wookie and thanks to all who participated throughout the year.
